PGT-SR (preimplantation genetic testing for structural rearrangements)
A test on cells biopsied from an embryo to check for chromosome structural rearrangements, used when a parent carries a known chromosomal translocation.
In plain English
It's a test used when a parent carries a rearranged chromosome structure, checking embryos for related imbalances.
Why it matters
It's used specifically for known chromosomal translocations or rearrangements, which is different to the general screening PGT-A does.
